Timed Power-The Easy Way to Save Energy

Many of the electronics and appliances around your home use electricity even when they’re not in use—wasting energy and driving up your electric bill. The Belkin Conserve Socket Power Timer automatically shuts off power—including standby power—to your electronics and appliances after a time interval you select, to help you save energy. It can be used with curling irons, clothes irons, toaster ovens, coffeemakers and space heaters to save energy and make your home safer. Use with lighting, fans and heaters to limit the electricity they use. Eliminate standby power when charging mobile phones, MP3 players, Bluetooth devices and digital cameras.

Save Energy through Discovery

Find out how much energy your devices really use—including, the cost of operation, the amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) produced in generating the electricity consumed, and watts with Belkin Conserve Socket. This handy little device lets you see at a glance the true impact to your wallet—and the environment.

Are you charged when you’re not charging?

Plug your cell phone into the charger and plug the charger into the Conserve Insight Energy Use Monitor. See how much energy it takes and how much it costs to charge your phone. Then, leaving the charger plugged in to the monitor, unplug the phone from the charger. See how much energy the charger alone still uses—and how much it costs!

What’s the difference?

Using a lamp plugged into the Conserve Insight Energy Use Monitor, measure the cost to operate a regular bulb, as well as the CO₂ produced and watts. Then change to a Compact Fluorescent (CFL) bulb, and compare to find out the difference in energy used, CO₂ and cost.

Where are you spending the most?

Plug a major appliance or electronic device like your refrigerator or computer into the Conserve Insight Energy Use Monitor and leave it plugged in for a week or longer. Note the amount of energy used and the cost per month. Looking at your energy bill, calculate the percentage of your overall bill each device uses to find where you’re spending the most.

Tune in to your TV habits.

Plug your TV into the Conserve Insight Energy Use Monitor and watch TV as you normally would for one week. Write down the cumulative energy usage and cost. Then reset the monitor and track your usage for another week. Compare your usage and viewing habits from week to week.
